Today I take that on, looking at vintage style 3-saddle bridges vs heavy brass 6-saddle bridges, what to expect going from steel to brass saddles, and what happens when you install die-cast tuners. I close the show with a nod to one of the great Telecaster players in Nashville, Bill Hullett. I was reminded of him recently after watching Fender's release video for the Brent Mason Telecaster, where Joe Glaser refers to Hullett as "Mr. Telecaster." I also begin the show by playing Bill's fantastic intro to Radney Foster's "Just Call Me Lonesome." Link to the AskZac website with more info on Bill Hullett. https://www.askzac.com/post/how-hardw...Gear used in Video:2019 Danocaster Blackguard (1953 Telecaster Style) with Ron Ellis 52T (Bridge) and Julian Lage (Neck)https://danocaster.com/Strings: Ernie Ball 10,13,15,24,32,42Pick:Blue Chip TPR 35 RB Amp:1967 Deluxe Reverb amp with Celestion V30 speakerEffects used:TC PolytuneMirage compressor pedalBoss DM-39v power via Truetone CS6 https://amzn.to/38S9rZK #askzac #guitartech #telecasterSupport the show
